Implementing guidelines in epidemiology is not without challenges. Some of the key issues include:
Resource Constraints: Limited resources can hinder the adoption of guidelines, especially in low-income settings. Resistance to Change: Healthcare providers and institutions may be resistant to changing established practices. Variability in Interpretation: Different stakeholders may interpret guidelines differently, leading to inconsistent application. Updating Guidelines: Keeping guidelines up-to-date with the latest evidence is a continuous process that requires time and effort.
